- The Force and Acceleration Practical investigates the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.
- Results show that more force leads to more acceleration and more mass results in less acceleration.
- Possible questions could involve calculating acceleration from force and mass or using provided equations to calculate with given data.
- The practical may have sources of error such as friction slowing down the trolley or masses hitting the floor.
- The Waves in a Tank (Water) Practical explores the relationship between wavelength, frequency, and wave speed in water waves.
- It shows that if frequency is doubled, the wavelength is halved, and wave speed remains constant.
- Students may be prompted to suggest ways to improve measurement accuracy.
- The Surfaces and Radiation Practical examines how different surfaces absorb or emit heat and the results show that matt black surfaces absorb and emit more radiation than shiny smooth surfaces.
- Mastery of these practicals is important for preparing for the GCSE Physics Paper 2 examination and resources like GCSE Physics Paper 2 Required Practicals PDF and Physics Paper 2 Required Practicals BBC Bitesize can be useful for further study.
